Italian Captain Michele Lamaro Once Again Shows His Immense Leadership

BY Philip Bendon  ·  Saturday Mar 11, 2023

Clearly dejected by his side’s performance, Italian captain Michele Lamaro once again showed his exceptional leadership in his post-match interview.

Seemingly being led by the interviewer towards being happy with his side’s galant performance. Lamaro stamped out any thoughts that the Azzurri were happy with producing some good moments whilst coming up short.

When asked to sum up his side’s performance, the backrow simply replied “Not enough”.

Probing further the interviwer asked what was missing to which Lamaro said “execution” before continuing on to say; “It’s simple as that, all around us talking about winning or the result. How do you get to the result? By the performance.”

“You don’t win at this level without the performance or without the execution. And we didn’t do that today.”

So long the whipping boys of the Six Nations, the Azzurri have undoubtedly taken major steps forward under head coach Kieran Crowley.

Entering today’s contest as the favourites for the first time in recent memory, the Italians struggled to replicate the performances they showed against both France and Ireland.

Whilst the disappoint will linger, it is clear with leaders like Lamaro this team will learn from their mistakes.
